THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 11 - Verse 42

Verse 42. And I knew. "As for me. So far as I am concerned. I had no
anxiety, no doubt as to myself, that I should always be heard; but the
particular ground of gratitude is the benefit that will result to those
who are witnesses." Jesus never prayed in vain. He never attempted to
work a miracle in vain; and in all his miracles the ground of his joy
was, not that he was to be praised or honoured, but that others
were to be benefited and God glorified.
